Any one know how many 1970 Olds Cutlass convertible with a 350 rocket and hurst 3 speed were made? Can not find much about the 1970 models with Hurst transmissions other then a shot article on another web site. Thanks!!

 

As I noted in your other thread, it's not a Hurst transmission. It's a Muncie 3spd with a Hurst shifter. Three speed production was relatively low because most buyers upgraded to AT or 4spd, especially on the Supreme convertibles. That was RPO M14, an $84.26 option.

 

Thanks for the info. We figured since the shifter was a Hurst the the transmission was also.

 

Hurst did not make transmissions, just the shifters for them.

 

Was perusing the vehicles going up for sale at Mecum Kissimmee. There is a ‘70 Cutlass S 4-speed with buckets, blue/blue on their website. Not much said about documentation or originality. Looks like a driver.

 

Hello, not sure how many Muncie 3 speeds where made but it can't be many. I have 1970 Cutlass Supreme


with the m14 option and also has the QB engine code.

 

There were few made because most people just sprang for the four speed. Rare doesn't mean desirable or valuable.

 

Saw a 70 Supreme with 3 on the tree @ CT NEOC show, up to that point I never realized they had made such an animal.

 

That's a Kool and unique Oldsmobile, congrats!

 

I’m also curious. I had a 1970 Cultass SX w-30 with the hurst dual gate shifter and a 455. 2bbl. It was red with a black convertible top and black interior
I always wondered how many were like it.

 

No you didn't The W30 package was never offered on the SX and was never a 2bbl. The SX cars built prior to February 1970 got the RPO L33 455 2bbl motor rated at 320 HP.

 

Was a W-30 offered on the SX ?

 

There was a 1970 convertible with a 3-speed on the column at the OCA Nationals last week. It was a bare bones car restored to a very high level.
